I'm not a big fan of having a bad guy that is all-knowing and all-powerful so I'm hoping this doesn't go down that road. If it goes to more of a Silence of the Lamb psychological bent (getting into the mindset of criminals), it would be more sustainable.

He may not be as much if a bad guy as you think... and I think that's part of it. He's a good guy posing as a bad guy, catching bad guys posing as good guys?
